StructureInfo (VMware-vCloud-Suite-SDK-Java-6.0.0)

java.lang.Object
- com.vmware.vapi.metadata.metamodel.StructureInfo

All Implemented Interfaces:

StaticStructure, Structure, Serializable
```
public final class StructureInfo
extends Object
implements Serializable, StaticStructure
```
The StructureInfo class contains the metamodel information of all the field elements, constant elements and enumeration elements contained in the structure element.
In the interface definition language, API designers have the ability to include all the fields from one structure to another structure. This is done by using an annotation @Include on the structure in which we want to add the fields. If this annotation is present, the list of fields in the StructureInfo will also contain the fields that are being included. The annotation information is also retained in the getMetadata() element as well.

  - StructureInfo
```
public StructureInfo()
```
    Default constructor.

This format makes it easy to translate the segment into a different naming convention.
    
    Returns:
    The current value of the property.

```
public void _validate()
```
    Description copied from interface: StaticStructure
    
    Validates the state of the discriminated unions and HasFieldsOf restrictions (if any) in this Java language binding Structure.
    More precisely, for each union: given value of the discriminant/tag field (@UnionTag in the IDL) of an union in this structure, validates that:
  - all fields of the union required for that value of the discriminant are set
  - fields of the union that are not allowed for that value of the discriminant are not set
  - any other fields of the structure (not participating in the union) do not affect the validation result

Specified by:: _validate in interface StaticStructure

equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString
```
public String toString()
```
Description copied from interface: StaticStructure

Returns a string representation of this structure. The result is pretty printed in order to be easy to read. It is intended to be used for different debugging/tracing purposes, e.g. dumping structures into logging traces.
In general no code should depend on the format of the resulting string. E.g. there must be no attempts to parse for re-creation of the original instance.

Specified by:

toString in interface StaticStructure

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:
a string representation of this static structure instance

_hasTypeNameOf
```
public boolean _hasTypeNameOf(Class<? extends Structure> clazz)

Checks that the runtime type name matches the type name from the binding class.

Specified by:

_hasTypeNameOf in interface Structure

Parameters:
clazz - type of the result structure. cannot be null.

Returns:
true if this structures type name matches exactly the provided class type name.

_convertTo
```
public <T extends Structure> T _convertTo(Class<T> clazz)
```
Description copied from interface: Structure

Converts this structure into an instance of the provided class structure if possible. A conversion will be possible if the requested structure's fields are all present in this structure.

Specified by:

_convertTo in interface Structure

Parameters:
clazz - type of the result structure. cannot be null.

Returns:
an instance of the requested type if conversion is possible. CoreException is thrown otherwise.

fieldName - canonical name of the dynamic field to set
fieldValue - the value of the field

_getDynamicField
```
public DataValue _getDynamicField(String fieldName)

set of the canonical field names for the dynamic fields

_getClassType
```
public static StructType _getClassType()
```
WARNING: Internal API, subject to change in future versions.

Returns:
StructType instance representing the static bindings type for this Structure.

_getCanonicalName
```
public String _getCanonicalName()
```
Description copied from interface: Structure

Returns the canonical name of the structure. By default the canonical name is derived from the fully-qualified IDL name by converting to lower case and inserting underscores between words. For example org.example.FooBar would turn into org.example.foo_bar.

Specified by:

_getCanonicalName in interface Structure

Returns:
canonical name

_getCanonicalTypeName
```
public static String _getCanonicalTypeName()
```
Returns the canonical type name. See _getCanonicalName().

Returns:
canonical type name

_newInstance
```
public static StructureInfo _newInstance(StructValue structValue)
```
WARNING: Internal API, subject to change in future versions.
Returns new instance of this binding class and injects the provided data value.
WARNING: The returned object is not fully initialized.

Parameters:
structValue - the source of the data contained in the binding object. Could contain more data than fields of this class can describe i.e. newer version of the binding object. Could be null.

Returns:
the static bindings StructType
